Hey, everyone. I was thinking about how back home, some of the senior officers used to get together a few times a week for a poker game. It's great stress relief. Even though we don't have money here, we could figure something out. I'm open to suggestions, or we could just play for chips and bragging rights. [He doesn't know about everyone, but he's competitive enough to make bragging rights a decent motivator.] We could even call it a club, so everyone could get some of those rehabilitation points toward things we want to ask for.

Oh, and if you don't know how to play but want to learn, it's not hard. It's just a matter of practice. And who knows? You might be a natural.

Anyone interested? I was thinking we'd start in a day or two.

[He's hoping the Captain and Data (the default dealer back on the Enterprise) will be up for this, but hey. Anyone who wants to get together and have fun is fine with him. Also, it's too bad Commander Riker was only here that one day; he'd probably have gotten a game together long ago if he'd stayed.]

	What's poker? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Well, the short answer is: it's a card game. But really, it's a little more complicated than that. It involves a lot of strategy and psychology, too. But it's pretty easy to learn, if you want to give it a try. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Strategy? Psychology? Ehehehe...........Korra's not exactly great with those. But she hates the idea of being defeated by anything.] Sure. I've never played a card game before. [And she'll give anything a try once.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We do the same thing with sabacc in my squad. I've never heard of your game, but be prepared to be utterly humiliated at it because I'm sure I'll be brilliant and unstoppable. [The humor and sarcasm is all there but he's got a thoughtful look on his face as he stares out of whats left of his face at the figure on his screen.] Nice to know there's another cyborg here.

	[Geordi takes the overconfidence in stride, he figures it's friendly prodding.] Once you learn the rules, the sky's the limit. I'd be glad to learn about sabacc too. ...Cyborg? [He reaches up to touch his VISOR and smiles.] I'm not, exactly. I was born blind, and this VISOR and some neural implants help me to see. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That is an excellent idea, Geordi. [ Guess who's in. Can you guess? ] (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[He can!] I thought you'd like it. It won't be exactly the same without Commander Riker, but it'll still be fun. Think you can find a green visor in a day or so? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh I'm certain the players could decide on a good "currency" to use. If you get a group together, count me in. [ okay so she doesn't normally play card games, but she does know how. ] (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Sounds like there's some interest, so now I'm going to hold you to that, doc. I have a feeling you'd be a worthy opponent for sure. Any "currency" ideas of your own? I'm open to suggestions. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
